We know there has been talk of whether or not Michael Jordan would be able to play in the NBA at 50 years old, but a little over 10 years ago, MJ was playing at age 39. After hitting The Shot in Utah in 1998 and seemingly ending his career on a storybook finish, Jordan decided to come back to the game in his late 30s in the 2001-02 season.

Jordan wasn't in his typical shape physically, and he had setbacks in his return because of a broken rib suffered from a Ron Artest injury during the offseason before his comeback. However, Michael fought through these things and still managed to be a highly effective player for the Washington Wizards at 38 and 39 years old.

During his final run in 2003, he was elected to the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the Feb. 9 game. Aside from the controversy heading into the game of whether or not he'd be allowed to start his final All-Star Game, the night was about Jordan going against the best players in the Western Conference and showing he still had enough to beat anybody one-on-one.
